ABOUT

Kira von Heuer is an artist, designer, and curator whose practice bridges human-made aesthetics with the intelligence of nature. Rooted in the belief that nature is the artist, her work calls for a shift in perspective—favoring reverence over extraction and embracing co-creation with the living world.

Exploring the sacred relationship between environment, self-expression, and anthropology, von Heuer creates large-scale installations, a brand of objects, mirrored labyrinths, and ritual water chapels that blur the boundaries between aesthetics and ecology.

Her ongoing project, Love Letters to the Ocean, is a crusade-driven installation that reawakens our romantic connection to the sea through ritual and poetic gesture.

Von Heuer’s work invites personal and collective remembering, tracing the contours of the feminine not as metaphor, but as environment itself.

As a curator, she gathers artists, designers, and thinkers committed to beauty, reverence, and a deeper kind of humanity—crafting exhibitions that function as living ecosystems.

Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, Financial Times, and Architectural Digest, and exhibited internationally with the Venice Biennale Foundation, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, LAX ART, and Le Bon Marché. She serves on advisory boards including Otis College of Art & Design, Women in the Arts UK, Plastic Pollution Coalition and Opus 1 Foundation.
